Is This Love?

Maybe he's not that bad?

We ate at McDonald's, and then we went back to the carnivals. We went on every roller coaster that was there, and honestly, we had quite fun. After a while let someone down in the light of the streets turn on. Ellie wanted to go home so it was only me and Jack left. "So what do we now, " he asked while we walked around. What would we do now? I barely know him. I raise my shoulders meaning that I don't know. "We could watch a movie at my place" Jack is really nice but I don't know if I can trust him yet. "No way" I responded. He I raised eyebrows and looked at me. "Oh come on" I smiled a bit, it was really funny watching him get frustrated. "I won't do anything, I promise" he then continued. "Of course you won't, you can't, cause I won't let you" He was really hot, but I wasn't up for heartbreak. "He stopped walking and just stood still. "What are you doing?" I asked, why did he just stop? He was quiet fo a minute and then he finally spoke, "come on I'll have to show you something" he started walking the other way leaving me no choice but to follow.
We walked for a while until he stopped and sat down on a bench near the river in front of us. I sat down with him and we just looked into the darkness, it was warm and really peaceful here. You could hear the water, and that was pretty much it. No people, no cars, nothing just us. "I always come here to clear my mind" he broke the silence, he looked different here, his eyes were softer, he didn't look as though here. He just looked calm. "My parents first when I was 11, I always came her when the had a fight." He then continued, I didn't really know what to say. I had no idea that his parents were divorced, mine was too, I never saw my dad he left when I was 2 so I don't really have memories of him. "My mom was a drug addict, now it's just me and my dad." Why was he telling me all of this? I just sat there looking at him. "I guess that's why I have this need to play around with girls, I don't trust them so I just them instead. And I know it's wrong but it's like my kind of addiction." He took a break then continued. "They are so needy and they crave the attention, kinda like my mom" he then stopped talking. "That doesn't give you the right to hurt them" I finally said something and I was expecting him to get mad or something, but he just nodded and turned to me. "I know, I will stop eventually when the right girl comes along."

We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, and I decided to get up. I wanted to walk around for a bit. "Let's go and watch that movie what do you say?" I said waiting for him to get up. If he really kept his promise and didn't try to do something, we would remain friends. If not, then this would have been a nice day that will be forgotten by both of us

We went to his place and he leads me to his room, "I'm sorry if it's a bit messy" he said before opening the door, his room was huge in comparison to mine. His bed was in the center and his tv in front of it. He had a closet and his computer, other than that it was almost empty if I don't include all the clothes laying around, he quickly picked the up and put them in a pile in the corner of the room. "So.." I said breaking the silence, "so" he said right after, "what do you wanna watch?" he asked, sitting down on the bed "I don't know you choose" I answered, he ran his hand through hair and was quiet for a bit. "What about this one" he finally found a movie that he seemed satisfied with, "SALT" the name was written on the screen, I've never seen this movie before. But it was featuring Angelina Jolie so it must be good. We laid in bed for almost 2 hours watching the movie and by the time it was over it was 12 o'clock in the night, "I need to go home it's late" he looked at me and I couldn't shake the feeling of nervousness, "or you can stay here?" Did he really think that I would stay here, no, no way, I shook my head and stood up getting ready to leave. "I can sleep on the couch" he offered and I was just about to refuse, when he got up and got a shirt from his closet, "you can wear this, change in the bathroom and we can watch friends until we fall asleep" he didn't even wait for me to answer. It wasn't wrong sleeping there if we didn't do anything, right? I took the shirt and headed to the bathroom to get changed, I quickly texted my mom telling her that I was going to sleep over at Allie's so she wouldn't get worried and then I went back to Jacks room. He was laying on the couch and I couldn't help but feel bad. "You can sleep on the bed if you want"? Did I just say that? I immediately changed my mind, but it was fine. I think. He left the couch and laid down on the bed beside me. "Don't worry" he said as he got comfortable, "I promised I wouldn't try anything on you" he continued making me feel comfortable.

And so we laid in his bed, watching friends and slowly falling asleep. I looked over to my side and jack had already fallen asleep, he looked so peaceful and sweet. I turned back to the movie and suddenly, I feel Jack's arms slowly making their way around my waist. I freeze for a moment then he pulls me closer and I don't really want to pull away.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter🥀
